MOWAG
Grenadier
Notes: This is
basically an updated version of the Roland; it did not see many sales, but is
used by Greek and Argentine police, and a prototype of a military version was
built. Production began in 1967,
but proceeded for only a few years.
A number of variants were envisioned, but in the end only police versions and a
few military versions for Argentina were built; military versions are also shown
below for comparison purposed and “what if.”
Though refurbishment and upgrades never took place by MOWAG, Greece and
Argentina have done several refurbishment programs, primarily to the drive
train.
The body is
basically the same as the Roland, but has a lower profile turret.
It is a larger vehicle than the Roland and can carry more troops and
cargo. The driver is on the front
left of the hull and has conventional controls.
He has two vision blocks to the front, but these are wide-angle vision
blocks and there is a limited amount of side vision since they are angled.
He can also raise his seat so that he can put his head out of his hatch.
The driver and commander do not have night vision as standard, though
there is an IR headlight and they can use high vision goggles. The turret is to
the rear and right of the driver (though not quite in the center) and is topped
with a ring of wide-angle vision blocks.
The turret is manually-operated. The turret is low profile and only the
head and part of the chest will fit in the turret; there is no hatch in the
turret though which the commander can do more than put his head out.
The commander of the basic APC version of the Grenadier or the police
version is armed with a machinegun which can be aimed and fired without the
commander putting his head out of the hatch, though he must at least put his
arms out of the hatch to reload the machinegun n.
(On the military version, there are two full-sized hatches on the
turret.) Another turret exists for the military version, one with a 20mm or 25mm
autocannon and improved vision devices.
Versions with an ATGM launcher on the turret roof was also shown. On the
sides of each turret towards the rear of the sides are a pair of smoke grenade
launchers, one designed for more forward firing and angled as to fire the smoke
grenade at a nearly upward angle. The standard sight for the gun is a 4x sight.
Military versions with autocannons use a 2-man turret. The troops enter and exit
through the rear door and sit down the sides of the vehicle facing inwards.
There is one circular hatch on the rear deck, about large enough for four
troops to squeeze into and stand up or two troops comfortably.
The basic Grenadier has no firing ports, but MOWAG at the time indicated
that it would be willing to put firing ports, whether true firing ports or
shuttered openings, in the sides and rear of the vehicle, though these were
never shown on prototypes or at arms shows.
The Grenadier is
powered by a diesel engine developing 202 horsepower, which coupled with its
light weight makes for excellent performance under most circumstances.
This is coupled to a manual transmission.
The engine is mounted to the right of the driver and separated from him
by a fireproof bulkhead. The performance is somewhat mitigated by the fact that
the 4x4 suspension is suited more for road use than cross-country performance,
and the standard tires are not run-flat.
The axles are rigid, though they combine leaf springs and hydraulic shock
absorbers, and the rear wheels have self-locking differentials.
The Grenadier is amphibious and propelled in the water by two steerable
propellers at the rear. The 4x4
suspension is switchable to 4x2 for road use, with the rear wheels becoming the
drive wheels. Brakes are all-wheel,
with the rear wheels having mechanical rear brakes for greater braking power.
MOWAG offered several upgrades at the time of its inception, with only air
conditioning and run-flat/puncture resistant tires being taken.
Other optional gear included an IR vision block for the driver and
commander, a ventilation system which could clear out chemical agents to an
extent (though this not an NBC overpressure system), a cross-country suspension
and tires, and a ramming bumper.
Police versions often have flashing lights, a siren, a loudspeaker system, and
sometimes a TV camera on the roof (though night vision is rare for this camera).
Version 2 is most common for Greek police; version 1 is most common for
Argentine police.
Twilight 2000
Notes: In the Twilight 2000 timeline: the military version was put into
production by the Swiss for the Swiss Army, German Mountain units, and French
Foreign Legion in the late 1980s.
Nonetheless, they were small in number, and were used primarily as scout
vehicles, with the passenger space taken up mostly or all by extra provisions,
personal gear, and extra ammunition.
The Greeks and Argentines also converted some of their police versions
into military versions by use of a kit; the Argentine versions “kit” was sent to
the Argentines in the form of an internet transmission and page showing how to
do it, along with limited technical phone support and online support as long as
possible. Most of these military
versions were Military Version 1, with small numbers of Version 2, smaller
numbers of Version 3, and very small numbers of Version 4 and 5.

MOWAG MR 8
Notes: This may
be broadly regarded as the ancestor of the Roland and the Grenadier; first
deliveries began in 1959 during LRIP, with production eventually reaching 600
vehicles. The MR 8 was originally
used by the West German Border Guard, though some were later transferred to the
West German (and later German) police.
The MR 8 was not used outside of Germany.
They have in most roles been replaced by later armored cars, but some
remain in service. Though the design and initial production was undertaken by
MOWAG, most MR 8s were produced under license in Germany by Bussing and
Henschel.
The MR 8 is
essentially a low, lozenge-shaped vehicle, with moderately sloped sides, front,
and rear. The driver is at the
front of the hull on the left with the commander on the right, with a windshield
to the front which is only moderately bullet-resistant (half the frontal armor
value, 30% chance to hit). The
windshield may be covered with armored shutters with vision slits in them.
The primary exit and entrance to the vehicle is through large double
doors in the sides, though there is a cupola and two hatches on the rear deck.
The driver and commander have small vision blocks to the sides of their
positions, and there are two other small vision blocks in each side of the hull.
The vision block on the rear part of the door has a firing port. In the
rear is a clamshell door on the right side which itself has a vision block and a
firing port. On the SW1 version, the cupola is unarmed and merely has the
hatches which open to the right and left.
The cupola has all-around vision blocks and the hatches can be locked
open vertically. On the SW2, the cupola is replaced with a one-man
manually-operated turret armed with an autocannon.
On some SW1s used by the police, the front has an obstacle-clearing
blade; this is not strong enough to dig fighting positions or be used as a mine
plow, but is instead sort of a super ramming bumper.
This blade is 50% likely to be hit on a frontal hit, and adds 8Sp to the
frontal armor. To the rear of the cab on the SW1 version there is a pronounced
step-up of about 200mm which goes into the troop compartment; on the SW2 there
is no step-up and the troop complement is much smaller.
The engine is in
the left rear and is a 161-horsepower Chrysler R-361 gasoline engine coupled to
a manual transmission. The
automotive and drive components are very sturdy and robust and do not break down
easily – surviving MR 8s kept in reasonable condition can be still be expected
to run reliably today. The
suspension is 4x4, but better suited for road use rather than off-road use.
Armor is surprisingly effective for such a light vehicle, and the angling of the
armor helps this. Armor is of
all-welded steel.

Notes:
This light APC is in many ways an evolution of the MR 8, though it’s body
shape is a bit more squarish and the vehicle lighter and smaller in general.
It was taken into mainstream military service with 6 countries before and
in service with 5 countries (mostly the same countries which also use them in a
military role) as police vehicles.
Manufacture stopped in 1980, except for spare parts. The Roland was first
developed in the early 1960s, not long after the MR 8, and is a very basic APC.
The Swiss themselves do not use the Roland, nor does MOWAG’s frequent
customer for such vehicles, Germany; the only other European user is in fact
Greece, which employs 187 in a military role and 20 in a police role (making
them by far the largest users of the Roland). The other countries using them
include Mexico (who use 20), and four South American countries, including Peru’s
100. Though several variants have
been proposed over the years, including ambulances, command vehicles, and even
ATGM carriers, only basic APCs (with and without turrets) and police versions
have ever been built. Greece and
Peru primarily use their military versions as scout vehicles. Only limited
upgrades of the basic Roland have been done; only refurbishment work has been
done to extend their service lives, and most Rolands remain in service with
their users. The Roland has not
been produced since the early 1980s, though MOWAG still produces spare parts.
The basic APC
version of the Roland normally has a small conical manual turret, topped with a
small hatch and a light or medium machinegun that can be aimed and fired (but
nor reloaded) from inside the turret.
The turret has all-around vision blocks and a sight for the machinegun
that is 1x. Sometimes, the
machinegun is mounted in an elevated remote mount which can traverse to a
limited extent independently of the turret and contains a downlinked magnified
sight for the commander/gunner. The
hatch of the turreted version is rather small and is a tight squeeze the the
commander, and is not normally used for entering or exiting the vehicle. The
driver is in the front left, with a hatch which opens to the right.
The driver has three vision blocks to the front and one to the right; the
middle front vision block can be replaced by a night vision block, and the seat
may be raised to allow the driver to put his head outside of the vehicle.
A clear plastic windscreen can be erected in front of the driver’s
position to protect him from weather and terrain hazards (such as splashed mud
and water) when his head is outside of the vehicle. The right block is in the
side of the hull, is protected by a grill, and has a firing port below it. The
commander is in that turret directly behind and in the center of the vehicle.
The turret is on some versions replaced by a simple ring mount with a
pintle-mounted weapon. The ring
mount has vision blocks on the front, left, right, and rear, though they would
make a poor weapon sight, and the commander would literally have to extend his
arms up to the weapon to fire it.
The troops sit on either side of the vehicle facing to the center, except for
where the side doors are. The
exception is the two troop seats behind the driver, which face to the rear.
Access is through these clamshell doors which are just behind the commander’s
position, or through a rear door to the left of the engine.
Each door has a vision block with a firing port below it; the firing
ports are simple shuttered holes in the doors. True firing ports and an extra
pair of firing ports in the sides are optional features taken by some users.
The Roland is
powered by a Duro 202-horsepower gasoline engine, coupled to a manual
transmission. The engine is
separated from the troop compartment by a fireproof bulkhead. The suspension is
4x4 and gives decent off-road performance; it has a locking differential and
traction control where needed. The
suspension is similar in concept to that of the MR 8, with leaf springs and
hydraulic shock absorbers. Tires
are run-flat and puncture-resistant. Armor is all-welded steel, but fairly
light. Several fire extinguishing bottles are provided, but there is no special
extinguishing system.
A late version
of the Roland has an extended wheelbase and is somewhat heavier than the
standard Roland. They allow for
more passengers or gear and have an automatic instead of a manual transmission.
Police versions
of the Roland have the same basic configuration.
Though in most countries they retain their machinegun armament, some have
outfitted them with irritant gas dischargers, and this is the type listed below.
For police versions, optional features such as flashing lights, sirens, and
loudspeakers are often fitted, as is an obstacle-clearing blade up front (which
is included in the stats below). This is not strong enough to dig fighting
positions or be used as a mine plow, but is instead sort of a super ramming
bumper. This blade is 30% likely to be hit on a frontal hit, and adds 8Sp to the
frontal armor. Police versions use
a ring mount.

MOWAG Piranha I
Notes: The
Piranha I is the genesis of the armored vehicle line which eventually became a
long line of armored vehicles using many common components and hulls of several
sizes. The original Piranha I was
developed by MOWAG in the early 1970s as a private venture, put on the
international arms market, and quickly took off.
The Piranha I came to be used by six countries, including Canada, Ghana,
Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The
Piranha was always meant to be the basis of several variants and subtypes,
though only the APC-type versions will be covered here. The Piranha I has long
been superseded in production by more modern versions.
The Piranha I
comes in 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 versions.
(The 8x8 version did not sell, but is included here for completeness.)
The driver is on the front left behind the glacis plate, with three vision
blocks in the front of his hatch, the center of which can be replaced with a
night vision block. The vehicle has a weapon station to the rear and center of
the driver’s position; depending on the position and armament, this may be
manned by the commander in a cupola or one-man turret or have a full turret
manned by a commander and gunner.
The troops access the hull through two rear doors, and there are two hatches on
the roof of the troop compartment.
The Piranha I has two firing ports in each side of the hull and one in each rear
door.
The 4x4 version
normally mounts light armament, with choices including a turret with a 20mm
autocannon, turrets with one or two 7.62mm machineguns, a turret with an M-2HB
and a 7.62mm weapon, a pair of remote-operated 7.62mm machineguns, or a
remote-operated M-2HB machinegun.
The 6x6 version can mount the same armament or heavier armament, including 25mm,
30mm, or 35mm autocannons, or the same turret as the British Scorpion (with a
greatly reduced dismount crew). The
8x8 version generally mounts the same armament, but carries more ammunition
and/or more troops. The version
with a pair of remote 7.62mm machineguns is a special case, as seen below; both
them and the remote M-2HB version have downlinked controls which are essentially
periscope sights and hand controls to aim, elevate, and depress the weapons(s).
The 7.62mm cannot be reloaded from inside the vehicle. In the case of the
twin remote 7.62mm guns, they are in lieu of a turret, are separately mounted on
the roof, and the commander controls one gun and a gunner’s station is provided
for the other gun. The may be
controlled separately, or both controlled from the commander’s station.
They are not conventional RWSs, and cannot be reloaded from inside the
vehicle. The autocannon turrets are sort of lower-tech RWSs, with the gun on a
central mount where the commander’s hatch was and extending beyond that to the
rear; it is a one-man RWS with only a small part of the commander inside the
turret, and only a small hatch in the turret (a tight squeeze; the commander is
better off entering the turret through the troop compartment from the bottom).
Smoke grenade launchers, with clusters from two to four on each side, are
optional with most turrets, and come with the Scorpion turret.
The engine is in
the front to the right of the driver, and is a 6V-53 developing 216 horsepower
for the 4x4 version, or a 6V53T developing 300 horsepower for the 6x6 and 8x8
versions. These are all coupled to
the same automatic transmission, with the driver having conventional controls.
Suspension is all-wheel independent, and very suited for off-road work.
The Piranha I is amphibious, propelled in the water by wheel motion.

MOWAG Piranha III
Notes: MOWAG
largely sold its designs for the Piranha II to the Canadian division of General
Dynamics, who turned them into many vehicles, including the LAV-25, Coyote,
Bison, Cougar, and ASLAV, and let the Canadians take the major role in
developing and distributing the Piranha II.
MOWAG, meanwhile, went to work on the Piranha III, a more powerful and
versatile version of the Piranha II; MOWAG also outsourced some of their Piranha
III work, which became the LAV III, NZLAV, and Stryker.
Piranha III is used by some 12 countries in various guises, but the
Stryker will be discussed elsewhere.
The Piranha III is a modular chassis which can be kitted out to a variety
of roles, and range in suspension from 6x6 to 10x10.
Only Sweden is known to use the 10x10 Piranha III, in an anti-ship shore
defense role; Finland was interested, and their version is shown below, but it
lost in the out to the XA-185 series.
The Piranha III is now the current production standard for MOWAG.
The layout of
the Piranha III is largely similar to the Piranha I, but the external shape is
more boxy, the nose sharper, and the sides and back more squared.
The driver is on the front right; he has a single rear-opening hatch with
three vision blocks to the front, the center of which can be replaced with a
night vision block. The driver has
conventional controls and an adjustable seat which allows him to put his head
and shoulders outside of the hatch.
A plastic windshield is an optional feature which can be erected in front of the
driver’s hatch. Though a variety of
turrets, cupolas, and RWSs are possible, the basic layout is a commander’s
cupola to the rear of the driver which has all-around vision blocks and is
elevated to give the commander good visibility.
This cupola has a pintle-mounted weapon.
However, the Piranha III is more likely to be fitted with a variety some
of those alternate cupolas, turrets, and RWSs.
The 6x6 model can be fitted with a small turret with a 20mm autocannon,
small turrets with a 7.62mm machinegun or a double 7.62mm machinegun set, an
M2HB/7.62mm machinegun arrangement, RWSs with M-2HBs, 20mm autocannons, or
automatic grenade launchers, or one-man centrally-mounted 25mm, 30mm, or 35mm
autocannons. The 8x8 version can
mount these weapons (but does not normally use the heavier one-man autocannon
turrets), or heavier two-man turrets with enhanced fire control and vision
devices and possibly ATGM launchers.
10x10 versions have been shown only as demonstrator or static models; the
Swedes use a 10x10 mobile shore battery version (see Swedish Self-Propelled
Guns), while a version with a 40mm autocannon (using the turret of the CV-90)
and coaxial machinegun was almost selected instead of the XA-183 series, but
lost out due to costs and protests by the Finnish Army that the vehicle was more
than was than required for their needs.
The troop compartment in the rear is considered cramped, but seats a good
number of troops in individual folding seats.
The standard Piranha III does not have firing ports, though they are an
option. Separate vision blocks can
also be fitted, whether or not firing ports are fitted. Primary access is
through a powered ramp at the rear, with a large rear-opening hatch on the rear
deck.
It should be
stressed that all available turret/pintle options are not used by all countries
who use the Piranha III; they are shown only because they have been demonstrated
or prototyped, and could possibly used in the future, and for the sake of
variety.
Several engines
are possible for the Piranha III.
The standard engine for the 6x6 version is a Detroit Diesel 6V-53TA turbocharged
diesel developing either 300 or 350 horsepower and coupled to an automatic
transmission. For the 8x8 version,
the standard engine is the same engine, but in a version developing 350
horsepower or 400 horsepower. For
the 10x10 version, the standard engine is an MTU 6V183 TE 22 turbocharged diesel
engine capable of either 400 horsepower or 450 horsepower (the Finnish version
shown below uses a 450-horsepower engine). For the 6x6 and 8x8 versions,
alternate engines of the same power are available – the Cummins 6CTAA 8.3-T350,
or the Caterpillar 3126. The
engines use air filtration systems to help them cope with dry, dusty climates,
and preheaters to help them start in cold climates.
The engine, transmission, electrical, and drive train have several
redundant systems. The suspension
is beefy and of the off-road type, with puncture-resistant run-flat tires.
The tires have central tire pressure regulation to allow them to adapt to
the terrain on the fly. The suspension is independent on all wheels and have a
new hydropneumatic shock absorption device for each wheel, giving a smooth ride
on and off-road. Optionally, the
Piranha III is amphibious, with propellers at the rear which are steerable.
Another optional feature is a front-mounted 8-ton winch with 60 meters of cable;
this winch can be a drum-type in the front of the hull, or a capstan-type in the
glacis plate. Other optional
features include an air conditioner, an arctic heater, an NBC overpressure
system or collective NBC system, an automatic fire detection and suppression
system, and a satellite navigation system.
The armor is of
high-hardness all-welded steel, and is specially shaped and rounded to minimize
the radar signature. Similarly, the
engine compartment and exhaust are shielded to minimize the IR signature.
IR and radar-absorbing paint is optional, as is CARC chemical
agent-resistant paint. MEXAS appliqué armor can be added to the vehicle to
increase protection, adding 3Cp to the hull front, and 3Sp to the hull side.
The MEXAS adds 0.3 tons to the weight of the vehicle and slows the
vehicle by 8%; if used with a two-man turret, it adds 0.5 tons and slows the
vehicle by 11%. The MEXAS costs
$537, or $895 with a turret job.
Other APC-Type Variants
Several other
variants of the Piranha III have been proposed, demonstrated, or actually
produced and sold. These range from engineer vehicles to recovery and/or repair
vehicles to ambulance, command, and signals variants, amongst others.
The armored
ambulance version of the Piranha III does not have armament, though it does have
a cupola with all-around vision blocks and hatches which open to the right and
left. It carries medical supplies
like the equivalent of two doctor’s medical bags, 20 personal medical kits, burn
treatments, an assortment of bandages and splints, and other minor medical
supplies. It has a small
refrigerator for perishable medical supplies, a hot plate, and a blanket warmer.
It has room for four stretcher cases of two stretcher cases and four seated
casualties.
Some command
variants have been proposed or produced.
They have simple cupolas like the one described above for regular Piranha
III. Some have a map board, map
storage, office and plotting-type supplies, and six radios – two long-range, two
medium range, and two short-range, with one of the long-range radios being
data-capable. (This is the Command
1 listed below.) Another version adds a ruggedized laptop computer.
(This is Command 2.) The most “deluxe” version has a battlefield
management system with appropriate monitors, computers and data storage, and GPS
with or without inertial navigation backup.
(This is Command 3.) In general, a hand-held thermal imager, image
intensifier, and laser rangefinder are carried.
Subtypes of the command version, including versions for varying levels of
the chain of command, as well as an artillery or air defense command post, have
been proposed and demonstrated.
A signals
version has been demonstrated, used in concert with command posts to help
provide communications. Such
versions carry three long-range, one medium-range, and one short-range radios,
with one of the long-range radios being data capable.
They have a switchboard, 20 field telephones, and 3000 meters of commo
wire, along with a small selection of communications spare parts.
(This is listed as Signals 1.) A subtype of the signals variant has one
of the long-range radios replaced by a SATCOM radio.
(This is listed as Signals 2.) In either case, the vehicle has a small
computer designed to ease the workload on the operators by coordinating and
partially controlling the communications equipment.
An EW variant
has been proposed. This version is
used to jam radio and radar; it can jam up to 5 bands of radio (up to two bands
at a time), and three types of radar (one at a time).
Radio jamming range is 40 km, and radar jamming range is 30 km. This
version carries three long-range radios (one data capable), one medium-range
radio, and one short-range radio. (This is EW 1.) Another EW version is designed
to intercept and locate enemy radio and radar; this version can scan five bands
of radio and two bands of radar at a time, and intercept radio broadcasts on up
to five frequencies at a time and monitor and locate one band of radar at the
same time. It can also conduct
meaconing on up to 2 bands of radio at once. It has digital and computer
equipment to automatically record enemy radio conversations and to help the
operators decipher code words and CEOIs, and it carries three long-range radios
and two short-range radios. One of
the long-range radios is data-capable, primarily to transmit its findings to
other friendly units. Detection range is 50 km for radio and 40 km for radar.
(This is EW 2.)
Twilight 2000
Notes: The Piranha III was introduced shortly before the leadup to the Twilight
War, and only a few countries have them.
These countries have only a small amount of them.
These countries include Belgium, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland.
Each of these countries had less the 20 of them before the Twilight War.
